Two of the farmers who visited the
city today left their horses on Third
street united and had it noe been for
bystanders the grangers would have
been compelled to walk home. One OF
them left his horses and wagon in front
of George Browns without tying and
the other fastened his equines to the
wheels of the first wagon. The head
team started off on its own hook and
the second team was compelled to fol-
low. The horses were just fairly started
on o trot when SON 9 n stopped them.
There is an ordinance against leaving
horses nnfastened within the city limits.
Like most Of our city ordinances it is
honored in the breach.

tweaty-three, twenty-five and twenty
nine below zero and two days when j
